University libraries acquire print information resources such as books and journals as well
as electronic information resources to support teaching, learning and research and also
facilitate knowledge dissemination. This explains why various library services have been
developed to promote and facilitate effective use of recorded information in all formats by
users. This paper examines the resources available and services offered by the Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Library. The methodology used
was records on files, interviews and observations. It is concluded that, in spite of library
budget cuts, KNUST Library has made systematic efforts in promoting effective use of its
resources by its users. It then makes recommendations to facilitate the effective and efficient
use of KNUST Library resources.
